Well, I DJed last night for the first time in almost 3 years, and managed to blow the tweeters...I swear blind it wasn't my fault, it never went into the red, but those recorders in The Boy with the Arab Strap must've pushed those high frequencies that little bit too far :) Yes, I managed to play Belle and Sebastian to a smallish crowd of moderately bored and sober medical students, despite orders to make sure I didn't alienate the clientele (I was practically Pete Tong the rest of the time, so a little bit of leeway had to be acceptable). Vicky wouldn't let me play any Kate Bush, though :( The best bit is that half way through my set, a girl came over to the DJ booth and asked me if I was able to DJ an indie classic (?) set on April 28th at the Watershed in Wimbledon from 8 pm onwards (is that enough of a plug yet?). So I said yes, I get to do it for beer (yay!), so if anyone wants to come along and request B&S all night (and who am I to refuse my adoring fans :)), make sure you're there... ****please ignore this paragraph if you're not Lesley Jo Miller**** Sorry to abuse the list like this, but Lesley Jo, you've become entirely uncontactable, where are you? Get in touch if you can... Bought my Gentle Waves ticket yesterday, which has got me all a-flutter, even if I haven't been able to get my hands on the single yet (John, you're my only hope <sob>) - though I'm not going to Looper tonight, unless a listee fairy godmother fancies doing the full pumpkin thing and rescuing me from an evening of dullness <bats eyelashes in a grotesque attempt to look endearing>. Has anyone checked out the B&S reviews on the Amazon website? Or has anyone here written any of them? They're mostly extremely high praise, but there's a bitter and twisted Field Mice fan somewhere out there who really doesn't like our twee scotch chums...which reminds me, every now and then I urge people who haven't voted at the Jeepster website for their favourite songs to darn well go and do so, especially if you're a fan of Le Pastie, which is doing criminally badly. Right, enough dull, pompous twaddle - I'm going to sign off with something a little cheeky, but it's a favour for an ex-listee friend, so if anyone's interested (and I can think of a few potential contestants), give them a call...apologies and thanks to Honey :) ......
